Agreed. Hopefully that will force them to put the Czechs in the qualifiers instead.

Would like it to be a pairs style run off

What happens if Denmark and Latvia finish level?

Germany finished behind Latvia and France in their qualifier.

Changing from Doyle to Holderive.

Perks has put it on his instagram.

Czechs Milik and Kus USA Wells and Ruml Australia Doyle and Batchelor GB Cook and Lambert Sweden Lindgren and Lindback Latvia Lebedevs and Bogdanovs Denmark Bjerre and Iversen Russia Sayfutdinov and Laguta

Apparently the reserve can only take as many rides as one of the main riders. Meaning Lambert could only take 5 rides and not 1 in the first 4 heats. Still disagree with the decision, but makes more sense now.

What average would Barker be?

Looking at that list and the possibility of at least 3 of those being in the GP top 8 anyway, a real chance for Cookie there. Also really want him to win on Monday now as that experience in Cardiff would do him good.

I'm hearing rumours of Rye making a team change for Saturday.

Test Cricket is now the best thing on Sky.

Certainly a positive

Certainly the only 2pter I'd have wanted is Shanes (gone now) & JPB. Obviously I can't see Zach not being part of Somerset next year. So certainly for me it's between, Danyon, Ellis, JPB and Castagna (purely because it'd remind me of watching his dad when I was a mere kid!)

We have 3.05 which makes me wonder if we had the 1-6 pencilled in before the AGM and we are just getting a 2 pointer as other than two pointers, only the guys on a flat three fit.

Interesting that there was no line about when the last member will be announced. Guessing we'll have to wait a while for number 7 then.

I don't think we are THAT strong. Kennett could end up averaging about 7 and if Robbo & Watt fall off a cliff (entirely plausable) we are struggling.

Tai really should pull out of the World Cup & rest that shoulder. Doubt he will though.

I meant 10

Jamrog (Pol) started instead of Bogdanov (Lat) Harris now officially can't make top 8 with 6 heats left.

Agreed. Think it's save to say that Smolinski dealt with Nicholls there! Loktaev is flying. (almost literally down the back straight there)
